I don’t recommend this gym, even one star is extra.

    Some staff are friendly, others are most definitely not friendly. I don't really enjoy this aspect of the club. For the membership fees, I find it a little much to have to deal with grumpy reception staff. Facilities are good.

    I prefer weight training on my own using free weights and a yoga mat. For me personally, I find there is very limited space to do that, because they squeezed in too many machines and treadmills. I can’t even use a skipping rope. I liked it the way it was before they moved things around. Staff is mainly friendly.

    I highly recommend this gym. It's a cozy facility with professional trainers. The group classes are especially great! Here's a view you can enjoy while working out🙂

    Many trainers here are helpful and friendly. The courses are efficient, the equipment is set up stably, only a few are close together and you can't move to other places. Soaps or towels are usually filled. Only the cupboards inside have some rust stains, often when I open the cupboard and want to hang something, dust comes from above. But otherwise I feel very comfortable here, just like in Pankow. For some forbidden things, there should perhaps be more control or instructions, e.g. an announcement or seeing something on the wall that shouldn't be done. (E.g. some people have cell phones in their hands all the time in the wellness area, some go into the swimming pool without showering, there are a few things I don't want to write here, so trainers should come in more often and make announcements. And I would be happy if you could swim with a swimming cap, but no one here goes in like that and I find that uncomfortable too; hair gets on my hand or body when I swim. I really like coming here

    I can recommend Gürcan's classes on Sunday morning (10 and/or 11am)! She is a friendly, energetic, caring trainer who does not leave anyone behind. She took me as a total newbie 4 months ago and motivated me to join consistently to her freestyle classes. The classes are quite intense for me but each exercise is tailored on each participant's strength. Gürcan pushes but not too much, so the classes are very effective and fun! (classes are in German, but very understandable). So now I'm trying never to miss a class: thank you Gürcan!

    Coaches and Trainers need professional development training on customer service and friendliness towards all their clients.

  • 1/5 Anna C. 1 year ago on Google
    The gym is not the cleanest, but the real issue there is the volume of the music that trainers put during the courses. The music is so unbearably loud and bad, it is disrespectful with people who are not participating in the courses. It is completely annoying and unnecessary.

    Cozy and cute, maybe not that modern like at SSC, but still good. Various courses. Thumbs up for the coach Maike, who made TRX training with me, I've just came but I was alone and she said, well we will still do our course.(!) Thank you girls for all amazing work.

    Yesterday I spontaneously went for a test training session with a friend and was really skeptical because of some of the negative reviews, but I was very positively surprised. We were explained and advised in detail, realistic healthy goals were discussed and the swimming area was easy to use and clean. There is also childcare available at certain times. I think I'll sign up soon. :)

    Unfortunately, in direct comparison to the other FF, it's the weakest. I did Hatha Yoga last week because I have to hold back on Vinyasa due to an injury. However, the trainer did more of a mix of Pilates and aerobics. That was definitely not hatha. The wellness area was totally overcrowded. I'm avoiding this FF now.

    Everything is great and friendly. Nadine is great and gave me a very good training plan. I hope there is a curtain between showers so women have more privacy when they shower.

    I tried the AquaX with Betty this week - very motivating. Then used the small, functional steam sauna. Today a very relaxed, well-instructed YinYoga course. Remarkable: very friendly employees throughout!

  • 5/5 Franky J. 1 month ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    I come here regularly and really like the club. The employees are all very friendly and helpful. The equipment is good. I appreciate that it is always very clean. The only thing I would like is for the trainers to be able to take a walk around the equipment area more often and give tips or correct incorrect explanations.

    Top gym, easily accessible, very clean, relaxed vibe and received great instructions from trainer Domenico! 5 Stars! :)

  • 1/5 nurdan k. 1 month ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    All I can say is that expensive doesn't mean good. Except for very few of the employees, they are so unfriendly. When I walk in or out of there I prefer to ignore the reception.

    Totally nice studio, well equipped. Everything you need is there. In addition, the new changing room is really nice, everything is new and very chic.

  • 5/5 Jaso a. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    So far this is the only gym where I feel comfortable and achieve my goals. There should always be great employees and trainers like Nadine. She explains everything in detail and gives you motivation. And very hygienic, I can only recommend it!

  • 5/5 Alexandre S. 1 year ago on Google
    Actually, only my wife goes to this place (for obvious reasons). But everytime she goes she tells me how amazed she is by everything there is, and how she feels like she's actually going to a spa instead of a gym.

  • 5/5 Flo P. 2 years ago on Google
    I come here a lot, as there is a Kinderbetreuung. So I everytime let my boy while I go train. Conny is really great! She takes everytime well care of my boy: perfect! And as per the equipment: it's clean and good available. I also the swimming pool even though its very small and I loooove the sauna! I like that they have a resting area close to it. All in all, I like this fitness club!

  • 5/5 Passion T. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Stephanie M. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything from top to bottom in this studio is a dream! Excellent customer service, top trainers, very clean machines, and even a swimming pool! What more could one ask for? For me, I am satisfied and very much so happy. <3

  • 2/5 Tereza S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very small studio, very small pool ( not saying swimming pool on purpose…) Unfriendly staff, after saying that the bar Maschine doesn’t work instead of help she said only “ye sir does” and left..

    Ladirs club with Great facilities. Very helpful staff and professional trainers. Maike's Deepwork is my favourite class

  • 2/5 Conny aus B. 4 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Unfortunately, for my taste, the studio has deteriorated a lot in recent years. It is becoming more and more crowded with equipment and there is not enough free space for your own training program. The course offerings are no longer what they used to be. The new lockers in the changing room get on your last nerve. I pay less than half as much in my new studio; it doesn't have a pool, but it's better and more clearly structured. I'm glad I made the switch after 12 years.

    Fitness First is the greatest sports club for me. Atmosphere, ambience, trainers. Clientele, location... Endless fun and success. In the women's fitness studio/Fitness First in the castle, I get professional advice from the excellent employee Ms. Caktas. I can only recommend the sports club 🌸💫

    Really nice gym and staff helpful and kind. The gym is not so big but have still enough space for everything with free area for exercise and a good and bigger area with all the machines (cardio and weights), and a good room for the courses. Has also a really good area for the flexibility and a part with modern and new specific machines for the strength. Two nice sauna’s and a quite good pool. Good areas for the showers. The fitting rooms are ok, can be better; when the gym start to be more full in the fitting rooms is a little bit uncomfortable to move, but still fine, depends about the time when are you going.

    Fitness First is great. I've been coming here for a year and I am so happy with my experience so far. I had my first personal training session just after signing up. We discussed my fitness goals and the trainer gave me a very well-thought out plan to improve my balance, which was super helpful for me. I personally love the app, which makes it incredibly easy to sign up for classes. They have a great variety of classes for every fitness level. My absolute favorite is the Vinyasa Yoga course with Valentina, but the Body Combat, Zumba, and Pilates courses are also very good. I really recommend this gym!

    If you're thinking about it, do it. Been contemplating signing up for a while now. So, today I decided to give it a try, and they did not disappoint. I felt very welcome, especially since trainer Maike was super positive and inspiring. She could sense when I was pushing too hard and she always volunteered alternative exercises where health conditions required it. Great experience, will go again.

  • 1/5 Sr R. 2 weeks ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Sadly, that is not correct. The camera isn't just focused on the pool. It hangs right above the lounger area. The camera hangs right above the sauna area where all the women are naked. THIS IS UNPERMITTED and illegal. The camera and thus recording in the area where you are naked is illegal. I could very much like to take a photo of the camera and its location and send it to a lawyer. You should consider the hanging area. What you write here is not entirely correct and questionable. There is a sauna and shower facilities in the swimming area. All the women there are NAKED. There is a SECURITY CAMERA hanging on the ceiling right there. This is outrageous and unacceptable. “The interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the people concerned always outweigh when the privacy of the person concerned is affected, which is why video surveillance of people in sanitary rooms, changing rooms or changing areas and in the sauna is generally not permitted.” Dear Fitnessfirst team, I ask you to remove the camera there. It hangs right above the sauna and opposite the shower facilities where everyone is naked!

    I am visiting from California and found “my” gym in Berlin. Great friendly staff - Jillian was amazing and a great trainer. The facilities were perfect with sauna and pool which I do not have at my Venice Gold Gym… so for few days I can stay on track in my daily training to be ready for my next ski days. Danke Jillian and the team at Fitness first. A bientot.

  • 5/5 Rachelle A. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    Absolutely recommend attending the courses “move it (10am)“ and “freestyle (11am)”, led by Gürcan. She’s so motivational, enthusiastic and caring. She knows what she’s doing and has taught me so much. She really helped me gain confidence in the gym and rebuild my bodies strength postpartum! 10/10 recommend and eternally grateful to have found her. :) I also really love the setup of the club. The different areas are divided well. The trainers are motivating and encouraging.

  • 5/5 Delnur 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    Perfect gym for ladies. They got all the machines just like other gyms and even have a swimming pool and sauna room. I tried it first the Probetraining. After that I fell in love with this place. and decided to work out here. The workers were so patient that they explained the contract really clear to me :) I’m looking forward to have a nice time in here.
